I hear about an "AI safety" split, but what exactly does that mean? I feel like there's the existential risk "AI is going to escape and take over the world" folks and the more mundane "AI is going to spout raci

Someone at work shared this and I thought it was hilarious and awesome. A number of other people found it disrespectful or gross. I'm sort of fascinated at the values divide. I can see why SAG/ASTRA, or voice actors, aren't g

If we're talking SemVer then 1.0 only means a commitment to a public interface. It doesn't mean the code has no more bugs and ready for use in a spaceship. Conversely, taking on a dependency prior to its 1.0 just means you're

I'm going with Apple Vision Pro, though technically maybe it should only count for 2024. Maybe I'll expand to say "the real beginning of consumer mixed reality", so I can kind of count the Quest 3 that launched a few wee

Chicago lawn here. As a point of principle I don't water the lawn. It sometimes goes dormant for a bit in the summer - I don't mind the yellow look since the park is yellow and it feels like it fits the general hot, dry spell - bu

As a native Californian speaker of English it is indeed SIH-nuh-muh for me. The majority of unstressed vowels become a schwa "uh".

I try to limit my intake of news, and so most of the story I only hear from my Tangle subscription[0] which has had a pretty even take on it. I've been impressed with them, so far, but of course everyone has biases and you have to take

Neat. My friends and I have a campaign going on roll20.net. I don't suppose there's any way to "import" our current stuff into here? Is this just for new campaigns? Our DM manages everything so I'm not entirely sure

It's interesting because the idea that they hone their craft is in contrast with the other author aphorism that "you have your whole life to write your first novel, and one year to write your second". I wonder if the ideas in

As the father of a 3 week old, I feel this! I've been very interested in getting more data about just how much and what kind of sleep I'm getting. I know smart watches these days claim to provide that. Anyone know how accurate it

I think counterintuitively there's less waste this way. With yearly, incremental releases, people will evaluate what's new from their phone and most people will update on their own cycle, probably every few or several years. Mea

I'm intrigued by it. To be clear, it reads surface temperature, not ambient temperature. The demo gave the example of a hot pot on the stove, I think, and they mentioned they've submitted something to the FDA to take your temperat

Well, the post shows that the given function is a functor. However, I might argue that calling the function a "parser" is a bit of a stretch. In a toy, abstract sense, sure, and maybe there's a formal definition of "pars

Eight new laptops from Acer, ASUS, HP and Lenovo. I feel like pulled off right, this "shared ecosystem" approach across manufacturers can be very strong, and from a competition perspective is probably pretty healthy. That said, th

I appreciate the replication attempt. Is anyone else able to verify? The GP's results are so outrageous, I find it swaying my opinion on the question of model safety and such, and I'd hate for that to be from a made-up response de

I’m not surprised the comments here are universally skeptical so far, but I’ll chime in that I think it’s plausible. The largest expense by far was compensation and with 10% the previous workforce it dropped dramatically. The question is ho

I'm a long time nexus/pixel user also considering switching to iPhone. For me, it's more about wanting a good integrated smart watch, and the pixel watch seems overpriced and has a weird half-baked FitBit integration in typic

Has anyone discussed the so-called "spatial video" (and presumably photos) yet, and how those might look or work? That's the most compelling upgrade to the iPhone to me. I'm generally satisfied with the quality of my pho

This is great! I've been an Elixir developer professionally for many years now, and I love it. (I took my current job in large part for the opportunity to use it some more.) But this scratches the one last itch I have with it. After ha

Wow, this looks interesting. It will take a little while to digest, but makes me really excited for the future of Elixir. As a professional Elixir developer for several years, static types are about the only thing I occasionally miss, and

Webhooks are fun to think about. A couple more issues off the top of my head: * Ordering. Since network requests can take variable amounts of time, how do you ensure those two "foo.updated" events are processed in order, or that t

I missed the presentation but with talk of these new stereoscopic cameras did they mention anything about Apple Vision Pro? Ever since that keynote with the kind of dystopian example of wearing a headset during the kid's birthday, I as

Total rust newb here, but does that need the full async story, or is it a limitation of an API somewhere? From the point of view of the code using the request's response could you use a channel with recv_timeout? Is the problem there t

Wow, that is a compelling landing page. It's almost too good to be true! Is it fudging the numbers or using highly cherry-picked examples? Or is it really that much better than the competition?

I see rescinding offers as a whole separate level because it has a big impact on the logistics of taking that job if you’re already employed somewhere else. If you can’t rely on the offer in hand there’s no way to gracefully wind down your

I think worth noting 5% unemployment doesn't necessarily mean an "army of the unemployed", by which I take you to mean a sliver of downtrodden persistently unemployed people. It's a metric taken by sampling the populatio

OMG, you! I just guffawed in real life at my desk here. I mentioned in another comment here[0] how I've checked off and on through the years and wondered who could possibly be keeping this page open and why. Thanks for re-posting this,
